Message 1001603 - Posted: 7 Jun 2010, 22:20:32 UTC - in response to Message 1001594.  

Perhaps sending the emails to the local police department. She is attempting to cary the scam over state lines, but without documentation the scam already took place, I'm not sure what to do. She does need to be caught. I wonder how many times she has pulled this successfully, and how many people got ripped off. It may not even be a woman. I have shipped snakes before, and I could initiate a pickup anywhere by credit card. There would be no need to request funds.

Watch out for the free iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc. I have seen several on freecycle and they are all scams.

the "customs" charge to get them out of Missouri must be steep....
i always thought Missouri was part of the USA....lol

The airplane ride is $200.00 but she hasn't answered yet if I can have it picked up. When she refuses I will give in and ask where to send the money because we just have to have that poor little puppy....LOL
